Important factors to Note When Taking a Romantic Photo

By Andrea Lofty


It is very necessary that you consider how your romance photo should appear; the message that you want to be represented by your photo is another necessary thing that you should be clear with. Different photos are known to put across different message for instance a photo taken to announce an engagement need to express joy of the couple and this is why all factors need to be considered.

The points that one should take into consideration when coming up with a quality photograph that will be treasured for long is quite a number. In the real sense, a romance photo normally portrays the feelings of an individual towards the beloved which in turn ignites treasured memories. Taking a simple but good photo at a reasonable cost is not something that is out of reach.


Shooting pictures in black and white is important as it enhances focus on the shapes, textures and lines in addition to the emotions that are portrayed by the subject. Focus on color is therefore minimized by shooting in black and white.

The subject needs to be advised not to use cloths that are stripped as well as those that are plaid or those with loud print. This will makes people viewing the focus on the emotions portrayed rather than focusing on the apparel.

The other thing to consider when taking these kind photos is to use zoom lens or stand near the subjects. In reality a close photo that captures the shoulders upwards will enable one to better see the facial expressions of the subjects and it will look more romantic.

It is also important to consider using a plain background as this will enhance focus on the subject and not on the cluttered background that is busy.

It is important for the subject to be in a relaxed mood when taking romance photos. This can be achieved by advising them to do simple things such as looking at each other's eyes, acting as if they are on a dancing floor or even twisting one another. Holding a flower is another way of keeping the subject's hands busy.

It is advisable to take as many photos as possible as this will enable you to make a selection of the best photos from a variety. The chances of getting a romantic photo is substantially enhanced because the subject gets more relaxed as you progress in taking the photos repeatedly. Most importantly always remember that the best romance photo shoots are best achieved when taken unplanned.
